Pacifics have been scarce the last few years.
I have been watching them trying to get ahold of a snow pac gopher for the last few years and was only able to get ahold of a male amel pos het anery and a female striped anery pos het amel this year after being on a waiting list since last year. The male I got from Jason and the female I got from John. Hopefully we will see them much more widely available in the near future.

I know of two morph/gene proving out projects under way currently in pacific gophers by two different breeders. Also I have a local specimen that will either end up being a nice outcrossing breeder or prove out as a inheritable hypo gene. In my opinion the next 5 to 6 years should prove very interesting in pac gophers if nothing else for increased availability of specimens.

Sean.

First off the pics you posted above look great! I forgot to mention that when I responded earlier because I got caught up in the question of why so few.

These are of the pac gopher that I am going to try and prove out hypo or not. I will post pics of the other three pacifics later this week when they are not in shed.

The others I'll post are a striped anery, an amel, and a normal.
